CHORD NUMBERS AND INVERSIONSWe can build a major chord on each note of the scale. We can use Roman numerals tomark them. If the chord is built on the first note of the scale, we call it a I (One) chord.If the chord is built on the 4th note of the scale, we call it a IV (Four) chord.If it is built on the 5th note of the scale, we call it a V (Five) chord.In C Major, C is the first note of the scale, so we build the I (One) chord on C.F is the 4th note of the scale, so we build the IV (Four) chord on F.G is the 5th note of the scale, so let's build the V (Five) chord on G.After we build the chords in root position, we can change the notes around.Instead of a C,E,G chord, we can put the E as the bottom note and we now have E,G,C asthe tones of the chord. We call this the first inversion of the chord.Put the G on the bottom to make a G,C,E chord and this is the second inversion of thechord.26
THE V7 (FIVE-SEVEN) CHORDWhen you build a V (Five) chord in C Major, the bottom note is G because G is the 5thnote of the C Major scale. We know that the G chord is made up of the notes G,B, and D.Now if you add the 7th tone of the scale, F, you have a nice sound for harmony. We caninvert the chord and sometimes we leave out one of the tones.To move from the I (One) chord to the V7 (Five-seven) chord: keep the top note the same move the middle note up one-half step move the bottom note down one-half step.27
